Strangely, Cho U is playing for Taiwan isn't he?


Cho U is Taiwanese, although pro from Nihon-kiin. I am confused if he is playing for Japan or Taiwan. trout wrote Japan, but I also read somewhere (Gogameguru?) that he is representing Taiwan in this tournament, which makes sense to me actually.

wbaduk is showing his flag as Taiwan and Cho Chikun's flag as Japan. Both are immigrants to Japan, so it is interesting.

How many seats does Taiwan have reserved at the tournament? It would hardly be shocking if Ing wanted strong ROC representation, and if the Japanese/Taiwanese players were allowed to compete for those slots.

cho chikun will play park junghwan and i think he will lose so park will have free ticket to final 4.
and lee chang ho will play cho u which looks like easy win for lee. another free ticket to final 4.

i am thinking that park will win ing's cup this year.

It's not unprecedented for immigrant professionals to play for their native country. I can't remember circumstances but it's happened before for Cho, and for some professionals there has been a bit of grousing.

AFAIK Cho U is still A Taiwanese citizen. Cho Chikun is a naturalized Japanese.

I am pretty sure top professionals don't underestimate their opponents that much. Free ticket, that is rude.

That is not what free ticket means here. It means that a player will lose deliberately.

I am wondering if anyone has any updates on this tournament? I'm keen to follow Xie He and it's been awhile since I've heard anything.
